  • I tried to allow my user to do this by enabling INTERACTIVE, BATCH, and my user for that privilege, and now Windows won't get past the "welcome" screen, it just hangs :( Commented Sep 6, 2011 at 20:23
  • @TK: Strange, as the Welcome screen does not use that privilege for anything. Try logging in as another user, or through Safe Mode. If you manage to get in, check Event Log (eventvwr.msc). Commented Sep 6, 2011 at 21:28
  • I can't get into any account. The welcome screen is displayed and nothing else. I have no visible options. Commented Sep 6, 2011 at 21:39
  • @TK: Even in safe mode? Also, try pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del twice on the welcome screen. Commented Sep 6, 2011 at 21:42
